Delhi is expected to remain dry over the coming days, with no rain in the forecast. Minimum temperatures are likely to dip slightly around November 21–22, leading to a noticeable chill during the early morning and evening hours. Light fog may appear in some parts of the region, while winds are expected to stay cold and dry. The maximum temperature may hover around 27°C, and the minimum could drop to nearly 11°C. By the weekend, night temperatures may fall further by 2–3 degrees Celsius.
Air quality in the national capital continues to be a serious concern. On November 20, Delhi recorded an average AQI of 391, which improved marginally to 370 the next morning. However, the air remains in the ‘very poor’ category. Several areas reported AQI levels above 400, placing them directly in the ‘severe’ zone. According to CPCB data, 13 out of 39 monitoring stations recorded ‘severe’ pollution levels. Wazirpur registered the highest AQI at 442, while Anand Vihar, Ashok Vihar, Bawana, Narela, RK Puram, Rohini and Vivek Vihar were among other major hotspots with AQI above 400.
India is currently witnessing contrasting weather patterns. Northern and central states are experiencing a rise in cold wave conditions, while southern regions continue to receive widespread rainfall. According to the IMD, this divided weather trend is likely to persist for the next two weeks. The active low-pressure system over the Lakshadweep–Maldives region is moving northwestward, and another low-pressure area is expected to form over the southeast Bay of Bengal around November 22. This system may intensify into a depression, bringing heavy rainfall to Tamil Nadu, the Andhra Pradesh coast and parts of Sri Lanka.
